  13. Agricultural R&D and Yield The Yield from R&D is a function of the Investment made into the R&D program. Ag R&D Investment (MM$/yr) Switchgrass Yield from R&D R&D Yield Growth is analogous to historical corn yields; exponential for a time period, then slowing to a linear growth rate BSM has a maximum effective Ag R&D of 10-MM$/yr. Any amount over that will have no effect on R&D yields. Fraction of Max YPA growth Obtained Ag R&D Investment (MM$/yr) Ag R&D and Yield – 5 Year Ag Investment relative to Max
